Complexity of states in quantum field theory — •Michal P. Heller — MPI for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Potsdam, Germany

One of the most interesting developments in holography is an apparent link between the notion of complexity of states, the measure of how hard it is to obtain a given state from a chosen reference state using a restricted set of allowed operations, and emergent spacetime geometry. In this talk I will present recent attempts to define complexity of states in quantum field theory and discuss their connection with holographic results, as well as with the field of tensor networks.
